[IronPython] word Automation
Hello,
First congratulation of all, thank you for the tremendous work that you
have already done.
I am looking forward the day where I will be able to translate all my MS
office automation in python scripts.
Am I correct I say that iron python will allow it?
So today I try to give it a try but unfortunatly withou success till now.
I am trying to translate this simple vb.net module to iron python, is
there someone reading this list that can help me?
the VB
Imports word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.word
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim oWord As Word.ApplicationClass
'Start Word and open the document.
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Documents.Open("C:\tmp\Doc1.doc")
'Run the macros.
'oWord.Run("DoKbTest")
'oWord.Run("DoKbTestWithParameter", "Hello from VB .NET Client")
'Quit Word.
oWord.Quit()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oWord)
oWord = Nothing
End Sub
End Module
Iron Python
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word")
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as wordApp
oWord = wordApp.ApplicationClass
oWord = CreateObject("wordApp.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Documents.Open("C:\tmp\Doc1.doc")
oWord.Quit()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oWord)
oWord = Nothing
thank you

With respect to IronPython, lambda, filter, map and reduce need to be implemented, for the same reasons lambda won't go away until python 3.0 if it ever does. While he Guido dislike lambda, the reasons are particularly about its implementation and current useage, and if a suitable anonymous function syntax is found he may accept it. ___ users-ironpython.com mailing list users-ironpython.com@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com

[IronPython] lambda form
Regarding lambda, map and reduce, Guido Van Rossum has said several times that these built-ins are amongst its "Python regrets". This is what he said in a recent interview: - If you could change some things that have been done in the langage, what would it be ?Drop lambda, filter, map and reduce. Make range() behave like xrange(). Make keys() and many other methods and built-ins return iterators rather than lists.

We already have one bug for sorting mixed-type arrays (bug #63) but it's nice to add this case as well to the set we need to fix. Talking of precision, for sorting, wouldn't it be more precise to convert int to float instead of float to int, when there is a mixture ?

I like to encourage people who come from a functional background to use list comprehensions instead of lambda when possible. I'm not sure that lambda should go away, but I do wonder if map, filter and reduce shouldn't be removed from builtins I would gladly trade this trio for defsyn ( and the crew ;-) to more strongly encourage the use of list comprehensions or generator expressions instead. Agreed. [SNIP] Thanks for looking into this lambda thingy.
